Overseas Base Closure

1. IMCOM-Europe and USAREUR consult and determine which sites or entire

installations would be excess to need.

2. USAREUR, nominates the site/installation to EUCOM for return.

3. EUCOM Staff reviews the proposal and coordinates to see if any other

service could use. EUCOM coordinates with the affected Embassy to

conduct a host nation sensitivity study. If no major issues, forward to Joint

Staff. (Staffing & Embassy coordination until EUCOM approval ~30 days)

4. Joint Staff reviews, coordinates with the services and if no objections,

forwards to OSD.

5. OSD Staff reviews, determines policy or NATO impact, notifies/coordinates

w/ State Department, sends to Office of SECDEF for signature.



6. OSD returns signed approval memorandum to EUCOM.

7. EUCOM coordinates with USAREUR to set an official Host Nation notification

date. EUCOM coordinates with Embassy to conduct classified Host Nation

notification to affected Ministry of Defense/Federal Government.

8. USAREUR & IMCOM Public Affairs Officers coordinate a "Public

Announcement" packet.

a. USAREUR Liaisons notify state government officials .

b. USAREUR Civilian Personnel Division notifies Local National Head

Works council.

WE JUST DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE……

• WHICH UNITS?

• Recent announcement: (Army Times, 27 FEB 2012)

- 170th Brigade (Baumholder) by Oct 2012.

- 172nd Brigade (Schweinfurt/ Grafenwoehr) by end of 2013.

• CG USAREUR has offered other units that may be better used

in CONUS.

- Military police companies, Engineer Brigade HQS, truck

companies, logistic units

• WHEN & WHAT OTHER UNITS?

• Await decision from the National Command Authority

(President through Secretary of Defense)

Force Structure Changes


Impact on Domestic Installations

• Primary:

• The Army is drawing down to 490K from 569K

• No authorities that permit Army to execute stationing

decisions without standard Congressional notification

• Potential BRAC

• Secondary:

• Potential Overseas Base Closure

• Not clear what will happen with other USAREUR units

• Don’t know what other units will deactivate or relocate to

CONUS

• Reductions may relieve Installation / IMCOM budget

constraints
